This initiative was funded by a grant from the School of Data Science and Society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The initiative offers resources such as videos, modules, and educational materials guiding users through the basics of AI, including how to identify bias, fact-check AI outputs, and avoid plagiarism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It also provides instructors with curricular development support and encourages both formal and informal opportunities for students to ask questions and experiment with AI tools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The initiative highlights the role of humanities and libraries in addressing the challenges associated with AI and information literacy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; While acknowledging negative aspects of AI, like the potential flatness of its writing output, the initiative emphasizes the positive use of AI for brainstorming and idea generation in writing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Durbin stresses the importance of preparing students to responsibly use AI tools they might encounter in internships, jobs, and future careers.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Librarian and English professor build AI literacy https:\/\/college.unc.edu\/2026\/03\/ai-literacy-2\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-09 08:00:00 Source Domain: college.unc.edu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":194093,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/college.unc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1280\/2025\/12\/AI_Library_Hero-jpg.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-194092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194092"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194092"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194094,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194092\/revisions\/194094"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
